A. L. Linn of the City of Schenectady
D. McDonald of the same place
Additional Comments:
This is not my ancestor and I know nothing about him. A. L. Linn was
Archibald Linn and D. McDonald was Duncan McDonald. An un-named
minor was involved in the settlement of the estate. Judge Samuel Jones
appointed Theodore B. Marsh as a special guardian to take care of the
interests of the minor (Probate record).
